I know there is a lot of knowledgable people in this area and wondering if I can get some advice. I recently received an MIP in BCS area and was wondering how I should go about it in court. I am about 20 days from turning 21 with no prior record. From what I understand I can say Im guilty (pay fine and maybe do more not sure) and then file and expungement form to the judge once I am 21 to get it removed from record or say No contest and get differed dispostion and have to be on a 6 month probation with community service and an alcohol class. What are yalls suggestions from your experience

Got me a MIP about 25 years ago in north Texas. Had not been drinking but the nearly full bottle of Canadian Mist in the back seat was enough for the trooper that stopped me for speeding to issue the ticket. He confiscated the bottle as "evidence".

A couple weeks later, I went to see the judge in his office to pay the fine. What was most likely the very same bottle was sitting behind him on the shelf. I paid the agreed to amount and he gave me a bit of a talking to about the law and the dangers of underage drinking and at the end thanked me for my "generous contribution to the county".
